Contenders and an Anschutz Exemplar

[wcso945]

New member here, glad to have found this site.
Two of my Contenders, both Super 16s in 44 mag and 17 Mach 2. The 17 Mach 2 is a TCA marked barrel, one of 67 that were done in 2004 for the collectors association. The Exemplar was a recent addition. I had one in the 90s, this one is staying put.

Welcome!

Good for you. I also have Contenders/Encores and two Exemplars. Two very different platforms, but both outstanding in their respective ways. I run rifle scopes on the Exemplars and that really puts them in a class of their own for accuracy.

Welcome to the forum. Both you and North Country Gal have some nice rigs there.

[wcso945]

Thanks for the welcome. I do like my TCs. Some of my others, all with custom shop barrels.

I’ve only shot the pistols at 25 yards at the indoor range. Both the 17 Mach 2 and Exemplar shot well.
5 shots each.

Those are some very nice Contenders.

Yup, Exemplar and Contender accuracy. Nice work.

I was getting ready to shoot one of the Exemplars offhand at 50 yards one day. Had it set up just with a red dot. Just to check zero, I rested it at 25 yards and took 5 fairly quick shots. Given that a conventional revolver or semi-auto is considered match grade if it can do an inch or less at 25 yards, what do you call an Exemplar? :)

North Country Gal, that’s awesome shooting! I needed high magnification to get my results. I may just need to try a red dot and see how it does.

[North Country Gal]

Thanks. Red dots are very easy to use, especially for offhand, which I do a lot.

Nice setup you have there. What caliber is the Exemplar?

22lr.

Nice! I'm new also, but not to TC's. All the pics look great.
